Tao, in your new patch will it be possible to disable the setting of the BMC
MAC? I would like to be able to send NCSI_OEM_GET_MAC perhaps with netlink
(TBD) to get the system address without it affecting the BMC address.
I was about to send patches to add support for the Intel adapters when I saw
this thread.
Thanks,

Hi Terry,
Sounds like you are planning to configure BMC MAC address from user space via netlink? Ben Wei
<ben...@fb.com> started a thread "Out-of-band NIC management" in openbmc
community for NCSI management using netlink, and you may follow up with him for details.
I haven't decided what to do in my v2 patch: maybe using device tree, maybe
moving the logic to uboot, and I'm also evaluating the netlink option. But it
shouldn't impact your patch, because you can disable NCSI_OEM_GET_MAC option
from your config file.
Thanks Tao. I see now that disabling the NCSI_OEM_GET_MAC option will do
what I want.
Best,
Terry
